"Sir Wizard Merlin!"

Lady Phillie's voice of came from beyond the door outside.

"Come in."

Merlin replied leisurely. Lady Phillie gently pushed open the door and entered. The room was filled with an exotic fragrance, creating a refreshing atmosphere.

"Lady Phillie, what's the matter?"

"Wizard Merlin, here's the thing. Dara City is about to hold a grand auction, and I've discovered that there are a few premium auction items in the auction. One of them will be a Hallucinatory Heart!"

Merlin's face changed slightly as he echoed softly, "Hallucinatory Heart? What's a Hallucinatory Heart?"

Since Lady Phillie had come forward to report this matter so seriously, Merlin knew that this Hallucinatory Heart must not be that simple.

Lady Phillie was not surprised as well. She now knew of Merlin's identity as a Spell Caster from beyond the heavens. He might not know what a Hallucinatory Heart was, so she explained in detail, "A Hallucinatory Heart is extremely precious. It's a crystal from the body of a creature called a hallucinatory beast. This type of Hallucinatory Heart has a most remarkable function, which is to boost Mind Power! Treasures that purely increase Mind Power are really far too rare, and the Hallucinatory Heart is one of those. Therefore, once a Hallucinatory Heart appears, it'll cause fierce competition among Spell Casters."

Merlin's eyes brightened. He had instructed Lady Phillie that he wanted potions or treasures which would increase Mind Power but did not expect that he would come across any. There was no Hallucinatory Hearts in the Glorious Land.

In the Glorious Land, other than divinity, items which purely increased Mind Power did not exist at all. Back then, Merlin had by chance obtained a strand of divinity, which was why his Mind Power had undergone an immense upgrade.

Nevertheless, divinity was extremely difficult to acquire. In general, one would only discover it through sheer luck. It was essentially impossible to hope for the acquisition of more divinity. However, he did not think that there would be such a mystical treasure like the Hallucinatory Heart in this new dimension.

"When will the auction commence?"

Merlin's interest in this auction was already piqued.

"Three days later, in Dara City!"

Merlin nodded, following which he looked at Lady Phillie. "After three days, bring all the elemental crystal stones you can lay your hands on with you. Remember, do it at all costs. Begin gathering elemental crystal stones now, as many as you can. I don't wish to lose the Hallucinatory Heart during bidding just because I don't have enough elemental crystal stones!"

Upon seeing Merlin's cold gaze, Lady Phillie shivered within her heart, and nodded solemnly. Thereafter, she took her leave respectfully.

"The Hallucinatory Heart… I must get it!"

Merlin inspected his Mind Power which had not grown by much. He was determined to obtain the Hallucinatory Heart, no matter what the cost!



Outside the bustling Dara City, people passed to and fro, and many powerful Spell Casters went in and out of constantly. Many of these Spell Casters had a fearsome force about them, causing some ordinary Spell Casters to feel alarmed.

"Look quickly, it's the Whirlwind Lord!"

A pitch-black whirlwind appeared in the sky, whistling as it flew toward Dara City. It had uncommon might but as soon as it reached Dara City, the whirlwind stopped. A Spell Caster who was covered all over in tattoos, including his face, appeared on the road, bearing a menacing appearance.

Many Spell Casters knew the identity of this extraordinary Wizard. He was the infamous Whirlwind Lord, a formidable Eighth-level Wizard who dominated a massive mountain range that stretched a thousand miles. He was a master of mighty forces.

Nonetheless, the Whirlwind Lord was savage by nature. Every few months, his murderous nature would flare up, and he would slaughter a few Spell Casters who were at odds with him. His external reputation was a terrible and notorious one. Therefore, most Spell Casters upon seeing the Whirlwind Lord's arrival, quickly hid far away, not daring to approach.

"Humph!"

The Whirlwind Lord eyed Dara City icily. With two beautiful, alluring female Wizards behind him, he stepped bluntly into Dara City. He must have come here for the auction in Dara City.

"Today, powerful Wizards such as the Whirlwind Lord, Wizard Balata, the Black Tower King, and so on, had arrived. Tsk tsk, is there some significant item up for auction this time in Dara City?"

"No one can say for sure. The previous auctions organized by Dara City had attracted many Spell Casters too, but not as many powerful Spell Casters as this time. An extremely significant auction item must've appeared. Who knew how many more formidable Spell Casters will come?"

A few Spell Casters outside the city gates were already feeling numb. They had witnessed too many powerful Spell Casters coming today, including the Whirlwind Lord, who was merely one of them. No matter whether it was an overlord of a certain group or Wizards with fearsome reputations, all of them came to Dara City one after another.

"Swish swish."

A few figures gradually flew toward Dara City from the distant sky. At their lead was a black-robed Wizard.

"The Whirlwind Lord is really tyrannical. No one knows if he would be just as tyrannical after the auction!"

The black-robed Wizard emanated an icy force all over, especially as he glared at the Whirlwind Lord who had just entered Dara City. A murderous light flashed in his eyes.

"Wizard Merlin, being outside Dara City, it's best not to cause any extraneous trouble!"

Lady Phillie hurriedly reminded Merlin from behind. These figures were Merlin and Lady Phillie as well as Wizard Darknight and the rest. They had encountered the Whirlwind Lord on their way here.

The Whirlwind Lord had been rude and overbearing, charging around violently, and paid no attention to Merlin and the rest. He had even caused Wizard Darknight to be somewhat injured, so Merlin felt a desire to slay the Whirlwind Lord.

It was just that they were outside Dara City, and the auction had not begun. In order to prevent any mishaps, Merlin could not cause any extraneous trouble. Thus, he did not attack.

"Be rest assured. I know how to act!"

Merlin retracted his gaze, following which he flew into Dara City with Wizard Darknight, Lady Phillie and the rest.

Dara City was prosperous because of the well-known auction managed by Wizard Dara. It was held once every three years, and the items of every auction were very precious.

Moreover, Wizard Dara was a Wizard at the peak of the Eighth-level and had even gone against a Ninth-level Spell Caster of the Glorious Palace, undefeated. Therefore, with him overseeing things, Dara City was one of the most secure cities.

As Merlin strolled in the streets of Dara City, he sensed its bustling atmosphere. Although the trading scenario in Bisque City had greatly improved under Lady Phillie's administration, and many merchants were willing to go to Bisque City, there was still a significant disparity when compared to Dara City before their eyes.

There were also the Elemental fluctuations of many powerful Wizards in Dara City. Merlin, after merely passing one street, had felt the Elemental fluctuations of seven or eight Seventh-level Spell Casters at the very least.

Therefore, Merlin's expression gradually became grave. It looked like this auction was not that simple. Fortunately, he had brought enough elemental crystal stones this time, and was unafraid of competition!

Very soon, Merlin's group came before a lavish building. Before the doors, there were a few Sixth-level Spell Casters who were respectfully receiving the incoming Wizards.

It was a grand maneuver to use Sixth-level Spell Casters to receive Spell Casters outside the doors. No matter where one was, Sixth-level Wizards held a high position.

When Merlin and the rest were about to enter, they were blocked by a Sixth-level Wizard, who broke into a smile, saying mildly, "O' Wizards, please present your invitation."

"Invitation? I don't have an invitation!"

Merlin furrowed his brow. He had truly not received an invitation.

Upon hearing that Merlin had no invitation, the Sixth-level Wizard's expression did not change, yet the tone became rather cold. "I'm sorry, but if you have no invitation, you're not allowed to join the auction."

"We have no invitation but we have this. Would this allow us the right to enter?"

Behind Merlin, Lady Phillie immediately handed over a dark red metal plaque which was inscribed with complicated runes. However, when the Sixth-level Wizard saw this dark red metal plaque, a great change crossed this Wizard's face, who said conscientiously, "Ah, you're distinguished guests. Please, come in. As long as you're distinguished guests, you don't have to present an invitation."

Merlin's face was full of puzzlement. He did not know what this metal plaque was.

It was after they entered the building that Merlin opened his mouth to ask, "Lady Phillie, what's that in your hand?"

"Wizard Merlin, this was left behind by Tambert back then. Tambert was a frequent attendee of the auction in Dara City. After cumulatively attending for a few times, he received a plaque for distinguished guests. Anyone who holds this plaque can join the auction as they wish. Furthermore, there are luxury suites prepared for distinguished guests."

Lady Phillie explained in a respectful tone.

"Oh? Looks like we've stolen Tambert's spotlight."

Merlin grinned casually. He did not mind what method they used, as long as they were able to enter.

Soon enough, after flashing their plaque for distinguished guests, gorgeous maidservants with alluring features and revealing attire led Merlin and the rest to a luxury suite which was numbered twenty-eight.

"Honorable, distinguished guests of number twenty-eight, this is your luxury suite. If there's anything you need, call out at any time. I'll be right outside. The auction will only begin in two hours."

Merlin narrowed his eyes and did not allow the maidservant to leave. Instead, he pointed at the other luxury suites and asked, "Tell me, which is the suite of the Whirlwind Lord?"

"This… Apologies, according to the rules of the auction, we aren't allowed to divulge the identities of distinguished guests."

"Is that so?"

Merlin glanced at Lady Phillie, following which Lady Phillie retrieved a few elemental crystal stones from her ring, smiling as she said, "You're just telling us which suite the Whirlwind Lord is in. What's the big deal?"

"There really is a rule in the auction that we mustn't divulge this simply."

The maidservant's expression remained firm.

"Take more!"

Merlin did not seem to care in the slightest, letting Lady Phillie take out a huge sum of elemental crystal stones. Instantly, the maidservant's face flushed red. She would not get so many elemental crystal stones even after working in this auction for ten years.

Therefore, she allowed her gaze to drift to suite number thirteen, and did not say a word. However, Merlin had understood her implicit meaning, and dismissed her with a wave of his hand.

"Luxury suite number thirteen! Darknight, I want you to watch that suite very closely. If anyone comes out, report to me!"

Merlin's eyes revealed a frosty, deadly glint.
